FFXIV PlayStation 4 Beta Returns This Weekend

April 2nd, 2014 by Tony Garsow

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will return to the PlayStation 4 this weekend for another beta phase prior to release. In this phase of beta testing, you will be able to use previously-created characters from the Windows PC and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. New characters that you create in this phase will be carried over to the official retail launch, so you may want to coordinate with your friends ahead of time as to what server you may wish to join. Here’s when servers will be active:

Some of the perks that come along with the PlayStation 4 version is increased graphical fidelity — toe to toe with the PC version of the game, DualShock 4 support includes a mouse-like feature for the trackpad, and the ability to stream your gameplay to Twitch or Ustream. If you also have a PlayStation Vita, you can use the PS4’s Remote Play feature to play on the go if you so wish.

For those of you returning to Final Fantasy XIV for the PlayStation 4 version, note that two major content patches have come since launch: A Realm Awoken, which released in December of last year, and Into the Maelstrom, which released last week. You can watch a summary of the content in each patch by viewing the trailers below:

Apparently everyone forgot about Final Fantasy VI’s 20th anniversary but never forgot about VII’s……that’s unfair
